Our knowledge of the atom developed from scientific contributions over thousands of years and continues to grow. The purpose of this webquest is to gain an understanding of how the model of the atom has changed over time. This webquest will require you to learn information about several scientists and be able to share this knowledge through the use of a class wiki.
Your team is responsible for completing various tasks. Find your team number below. All information must be added to the proper class wiki page (Major Player, Other Scientists, and Important Questions) by the required completion date. In addition, each team should help create a “History of the Atom Timeline” by adding your information at the top of THIS page (scientist's name, date of discovery, and summary of major contribution).
